Cabezas Rubias is located in the heart of the western Andévalo region. There are different opinions about the origin of the place name Cabezas Rubias. While some researchers identify it with the Roman villa of Ad Rubras, located on the communication route between Mérida and the mouth of the Guadiana, other experts believe that it derives from a Spanish term that would refer to "reddish elevations", produced by oxidation from the iron found in its mountains, while a third group believes that the denomination derives from the first building that was erected in the town, Venta Rubia.
